Walk in Truth, Intuitive re-Purpose, Lost and Found {my Instagram Weekly Round-up}

Instagram Weekly Round-up at Hali Karla ArtsInstagram is by far my favorite social media place to hang out and share daily moments+musings. Here’s my IG  ‘archive’ from this past week…

The lines, colors, textures, patterns and light. The summit views are awesome this time of year, for sure, but there's something about being down in the thick of the changing wooded world that makes my heart swoon.

 

And there's this too... Palette of my inner skies.

 

October 15:

On my walk in the woods yesterday I found so much beauty... And this little journal. It only has a few dozen entries... Some sketches, a margarita recipe, affirmations on love and expansion (I'm in Asheville, after all). It was also lost and found before. The second owner noted this. But the part that made me pause was the longest entry - about a dream the journaler had. It started out with how he met a girl named Hali by the ocean....

 

That's it for this week.

Well Hi There. I'm Hali. I really love raspberries. App filters are fun sometimes. This filter is called raspberry. So was my lipstick that night. I don't love being in front of the camera, but good filter fun can sometimes enhance true stories... plus, it's been awhile since I showed my face here. Along with raspberries, I also love deep soulful dives with creative process, moving color, making marks, moon-gazing and woodwalks, seeking truth, helping others (and myself) see, heal, relate, rest, engage with more Love+wonder+faith, and reveling in the joys and possibilities of creative energy that are ever-present, even in the most ordinary or quirky moments. I'm glad you're here, Creative Soul! What do YOU love within and beyond the ordinary? ... #beingsilly #truestory #berealbeyou #seekingtruth #solarreturn #artistoninstagram #workingartist #lifeisart #pisces #introverted #infp #beinghuman #dowhatyoulovetodo #visualstory #meettheartist #everythingisconnected #artheals #loveeachother #faithhopelove #sacredordinarydays #loveheals #halikarlaarts #creativeprocess #contemplative #simplejoys #begratefuleveryday #creativepractice #creativewomen #colorlove

seeing connections: 1) the page became a dreamscape meditation over the weekend. the lone mama bear journeys on 2) also, it's my birthday. 42 gratitudes is the name of the game today, plus a mini-escape with my guy. 3) i thought i was Aquarius for half my life, turns out I'm Pisces x 2, a true new moon cusp baby. timing matters. 4) "Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water." morning page-flip landed on john 7:38 scribbled in my journal 5) for TODAY ONLY, a birthday sale if you'd like a Shine On birth chart reading with me, on your core chart placements, chiron (wounded healer archetype) and lunar nodes - save 40 usd. i only book a few spots at a time, because I like to give charts my full focus - the feedback i get is usually teary with gratitude and insight. makes my heart full to be able to do this for other creative seekers (let me know if you have questions) 6) also, i'll keep sharing artist birthdays/artworks in my stories every few days or so. today we end Aquarius with Yoko Ono and Max Klinger who were born today, too - and as the sun has moved into Pisces, i'll start sharing Pisces artists (also found in my highlights if you missed the shares so far - i'm making a visual selection/collection, bc I'm a visual research geek like that) 7) Comment or tag if you are or know any Aquarius or Pisces artists hanging around here on Instagram doing their thing. It'll make me happy, and it's my birthday, so you know...

always a dance between fits & starts and consistency. something to be gleaned from both approaches when done with a focus on presence and honoring our creative energy. the time we can give varies so regularly... a new altered book page begins, first messy layers, not sure if it's a paint-sketch or one to see through just yet. a few more movements will tell... . . . #alteredbook #artjournaling #visualstory #visualjournal #creativepractice #creativepracticeconnection #mixedmediaartist #beginagain #collageart #colorplay ... #artheals #dailypractice #creativeprocess #artprocess #artexperiment #creativeplay #creativelifehappylife #practiceinpresence #creativeenergy #intuitiveart ... #creativeeveryday #inthestudio #artdetail #abstractart #rawart #intuitivepainting #wip #paintingprocess
This is a Visual celebration of some artists who all have birthdays in the first half of February. This is part of a curious thing I'm exploring... Basically, I wanted to SEE some art side by side, from those born under the same sun signs, and started some collections... and it has gotten interesting. I am sharing the FULL IMAGES IN MY STORIES/highlights. Now, sun signs alone can hardly speak to the whole learning, expressive, creative styles and instincts of an artist, but it is inspiring nonetheless to put together these collections, linked by an Aquarius sun, in this case. Aquarians are visionaries, electric quick-witted, with eccentric and humanitarian devotions and ideas, ahead of their times, often misunderstood and see the big picture from the edge of liberating/revolutionary change... there can be a reservedness or a palpable quarkiness, but there is always something a little genius with Aquarians (and we all have a little Aquarius in us). I see an intensity or boldness with this selection... and of course, there's more to see if you peek at each artist's creative works through time, too... follow the trail that calls you. Are any of you born under an Aquarius sun? Or know an artist who is? Tag them and celebrate! Happy Birthday, Aquarian Creatives! .... THE ARTISTS from L- R (see full pieces + details in my stories): 1: #WilliamArtis (Mother and Child) 2: #MaxBeckmann (Still-life with Cello and Bass) 3: #NormanRockwell (GoldenRule) 4: #FranzMarc (The Waterfall) 5: #AlisonSaar (amazing sculpture from the Topsy Turvy exhibit) check her out - wow! 6: #JoanMitchell (Low Water) 7: #ThomasCole (The Voyage of Life) 8: #FernandLeger (The City) 9: #MaryLovelaceONeal (She thinks she's a zebra, actually she's a painted pony) ... {Shared for inspiration & education only.
